The sharp pain from his right shoulder brought Ok back to reality. Although he avoided the attack of the second-level ghost wolf above, the shadow claw blade it released still cut off half of Ok's shoulder armor.
Given his current condition, even if adventurers from Osborne Town came to rescue him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on until that time!
"Seven." Oak turned his head and confirmed again. In addition to the ghost wolf that had been seriously injured by Leila before, he also deliberately led these ghost wolves to poisonous vines, cliffs and other places where they could die.
Now there are only seven ghost wolves still hanging steadily behind him, including two second-level ghost wolves.
There was even a second-level ghost wolf that was injured by Sean's arrow, and its speed was getting slower and slower.
"As long as I can find a way to cripple the other second-level ghost wolf, I still have a chance!"
Oak was secretly calculating in his mind.
Otherwise, if he kept dragging a ghost wolf as a burden, he would be caught up by the ghost wolves sooner or later.
As for killing this old wolf and throwing it away to escape with all your strength?
That's not possible.
Oak had a hunch that if he dared to kill the old wolf, it would inevitably drive the group of ghost wolves behind him crazy, and then he wouldn't even be able to run one more step.
But when Oak was thinking about how to cripple another second-level ghost wolf, he did not notice that when he passed by a rock, there were several huge claw marks about an inch wide and faintly swirling black air on the rock!
The old wolf, whose neck he was pinching, started to roll his eyes when he saw the claw marks.
“Ouch—!”
The old wolf suddenly let out a long howl in Oak's hand, and its broken vocal cords distorted the tone into a strange tremolo.
But after a moment, responses came one after another from the depths of the valley, and the owners of pairs of dark green pupils in the valley raised their heads and looked in the direction of Oak.
The two second-level ghost wolves also suddenly stopped chasing, and they whimpered softly at the old wolf.
It sounded as if they were angry at the old wolf's betrayal. Then the two second-level ghost wolves slowly retreated, and then turned around and fled out of the valley with their remaining subordinates.
"Um!?"
When Oak saw the two second-level ghost wolves retreat, he did not feel happy at all.
He is neither stupid nor deaf.
Naturally, you can hear the howling of wolves coming from the valley!
"Damn it, damn old dog!"
Oak's eyes turned fierce, and without any hesitation, he thrust the sword in his hand directly into the old wolf's throat!
“Ah—Gu…”
At this point, how could Oak not understand that this old wolf had attracted a more powerful wolf pack from the Wolf Valley!
He was afraid that he would not be able to escape death today, so before he died, he would kill this old dog who had deceived them all!
Oak gritted his bleeding teeth, his face full of ferocious and crazy expressions, and he was about to twist the sword to strangle the damn dog to death!
“Whoosh!”
A pitch-black claw mark over one meter high suddenly appeared in front of him!
The claw marks seemed to have come from a very far distance, and were particularly conspicuous under the reflection of the fluorescent mycelium on the ground.
The speed of the claw mark was not fast, at least much slower than the speed of Oak when he used the sliding step.
But Oak felt that if he made any unnecessary movements towards the old wolf, he would probably be torn in half by the claw marks!
There is a ghost wolf saving this old wolf!
With this in mind, Oak actually wanted to continue to hold the old wolf in his hands.
But while he was still hesitating, a giant black wolf as tall as a man quietly appeared behind him and slapped him hard on the back.
The hit Oak flew straight forward and crashed into the claw mark that was coming down vertically!
It looked like Oak was about to be split into two equal halves.
"Slide!"
In mid-air, Oak finally gained control of his body at the last moment and leaped onto the branch of a big tree nearby.
But at this time he no longer had the old wolf in his hands. The old wolf had been rescued by a huge black wolf that was as tall as a man!
At this moment, he was lying under the giant wolf, whimpering and gasping for breath.
But what surprised Oak was that the giant wolf that saved the old wolf did not supply magic power to the old wolf to save it. Instead, it seemed to push the old wolf aside with some disgust.
Then the giant wolf turned its attention to the Orc in the tree.
Oak felt a chill in his heart as he watched.
A valley filled with shadows and fluorescent mycelium.
The muffled roar rolling from the throat of the giant wolf facing the Ork was like a death-threatening war drum.
Along with its roar, low and trembling wolf howls came from the depths of the valley, responding to the king of the ghost wolves.
Although he couldn't see the status bar of the giant wolf, Oak was sure that the black giant wolf in front of him should be the legendary Ghost Wolf King.
Because as the giant wolf's roar echoed in the valley, pairs of green eyes had quietly appeared at the bottom of the valley where there was a small mountain stream.
Oak's back was pressed against the cracked bark of the fir tree. The fluorescent mycelium at the bottom of the tree flickered in the humus soil, making the dozens of pairs of dark green eyes that gathered around him look like ghostly fire.
Just by looking down, Oak's heart sank a little more.
Because among this group of black ghost wolves summoned by the Ghost Wolf King, he could only see one with a status bar on its head, and it was a lv.19 second-level ghost wolf!
The Ghost Wolf King growled and gave a few orders to the Ghost Wolf that appeared beside the mountain stream.
Then three strong wolves came forward and dragged the lame, one-eyed old dog away.
When the lame old dog was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by the three sturdy ghost wolves and dragged into the shadows, blood from the wound in his throat was streaked on the fungal carpet, forming dark red spots.
Seeing that the Phantom Wolf King didn't seem to have any intention of ordering him to be torn apart alive, Oak felt that he might as well leave now.
He jumped off the branch and ran out of the valley.
But at this moment, the crowns of several large trees around him suddenly exploded with rustling sounds, and five black shadows jumped down from different directions to block his retreat.
Oak instinctively raised his sword and slashed at the black shadow blocking his way.
As soon as the sword tip was raised half an inch, the Ghost Wolf King's front paws slammed heavily on the ground.
Rotten leaves wrapped in mud exploded into a circular air wave, forcing him back into the tree canopy with slanting branches.
Before he could catch his breath, a stream of smelly wolf saliva dripped from the top of his head. He suddenly raised his head and saw an upside-down wolf face.
There was still fresh flesh and blood of some unknown creature stuck between the beast's sharp teeth, and the cunning in its eyes was no different from that of a human.
"It's over, I'm really going to die here today!"
Ouke felt gloomy and thought that today was the end of his life.
But at this moment, Oak suddenly heard shouts coming from afar.
"Ouk——"
"Ok-, are you in there?"
"Ok..., we're here..., let's talk..."
